Dr. Spence,

Thank you for all of your support throughout the years. You have been a strong advocate for Adventist athletics, and because of your support, there has been a renewed spark and appreciation for it.

Over the years, you celebrated the 2008 USCAA Baseball National Championship, the 2014 USCAA Menโ€™s Basketball National Championship, and the 2017 A.I.I. Menโ€™s Basketball Championship. During your tenure, you also oversaw the unveiling of a brand-new turf field in 2014 and approved the transition from NCAA Division II back to the NAIA. We witnessed significant improvements to the gymnasium, including updated bleachers, new flooring, and new basketball goals.

We greatly appreciate your attendance at countless sporting events and your unwavering support of our student-athletes.

You are a visionary leader, and we look forward to seeing your vision continue to come to life through the redevelopment of the campus. We wish you and your family all the best as you transition into your new role.

THIS IS WAU

Is a time to reflect on the life of individuals that served and died while serving in the armed forces. We thank the brave individuals that sacrificed their lives.

Recently, we had the opportunity as a community to think about the life of Alum Charles โ€œCharlieโ€ Shyab. We learned that Charlie was a conscientious objector for bearing arms but served in the medic unit. He was credited for saving many lives.

Charlie was a member of the Vietnam Veterans Chapter 641. Several members were at the gathering to talk about the life of Charlie.

After his service he was an educator at JNA where he taught several WAU Alumni including President

Itโ€™s more than just a day off. Itโ€™s a time to reflect on those that sacrificed everything.
